No matter how mysterious a place is, as long as you live there for a few years and get used to the mystery there, it will become boring and boring.

Four years after the start of school, the unfathomable Taiyi Academy, which is unfathomable in the eyes of the world, is a place to study, practice, eat, and sleep in the hearts of this year's students, and it is not much different from its own sect.

The only big gap between Taiyi Academy and the outside world is that everything here is much more advanced than the outside, including the same in thought.

Taiyi Academy is built on a cloud city, standing on the top of the spear peak, above the clouds, is a hanging city that does not need to rely on external support, and does not move in the wind above the clouds.

The students were very interested in Cloud City at the beginning, and set up a special seminar group to try every way to demonstrate why Cloud City can be suspended in the air and not move a single bit.

Most of the students participated, whether it was from mechanics, material science, or from the theory of aura and space Taoism, none of them could explain the secrets of Cloud City's hanging sky.

After half a year of painstaking research, the research team finally admitted that due to limited knowledge, it was impossible to explain this phenomenon.

Then the members of the group decided to take a shortcut, and they asked all the thirty-six lecturers and twelve teachers of the school, but none of them could answer this question.

Everyone had no choice but to consult the Judgment Judge, who said that this was not the direction of his research and could not answer, and he hoped that the students would not focus on these things that would not be of much help to their cultivation.

But no one could stop the students' desire to learn, and they found the dean.

The Dean pondered for a while and replied, "You have been going up the mountain and entering the city for more than half a year, and you must have listened to Master Niu's astronomy lessons, have you ever questioned that the universe is boundless, regardless of whether it is up or down, left and right, but the stars can hang in the air and move according to certain laws?"

One of the students immediately replied: "Because everything has a gravitational force, and gravity interacts with each other to maintain the balance between the stars, and the disciples can understand this truth through experiments."

But with the distance between Cloud City and Dongshengzhou and its own weight, even if it can maintain a temporary balance, it should fall with the rotation of Dongshengzhou, but it doesn't. ”

The dean said, "What is your view on the theory of the universe? ”

Another student said, "In ancient times, it was called the universe, and the four directions were called the universe, and the disciples recognized this, but Master Huo's statement that the universe was created by a little explosion did not recognize it.

Although there is a spatial Dao technique of 'Na Sumeru in mustard seeds', if you want to load the weight of the entire universe into one point, no matter how powerful the mana is, you can't do it!"

The dean asked rhetorically, "Then are the Dongsheng Continent and Cloud Castle where we live now really exist, and where did they come from?"

The students who had replied before were lost in thought, and another student said, "The dean's rhetoric is sophistry, can you prove that the world is real?

Maybe it's all just something made up by our minds, and all of this is illusory. ”

The dean smiled and said, "What is the composition of that thought? You still don't listen to the lessons of Master Zhou and Master Hei, your cultivation is still shallow, and forcibly comprehending these avenues will go crazy, at least you can study it in depth only after you have conceived and raised a primordial baby." ”

The student nodded a little sadly, in fact, he also felt that his thoughts were a little confused, and his realm had stopped moving forward for half a year.

The dean said, "Since you are so interested, I might as well point you out, what is the core of our practice?"

All the students groaned and said in unison, "It's 'Dao'!"

The dean also said, "The sun and the moon are self-evident without any burning, the stars are self-ordered without men, the birds and beasts are self-inflicted without man-made, the wind is automatic without fanning, the water is self-flowing without pushing, the plants and trees are self-inflicted without planting, they breathe without breathing, their hearts beat without heartbeat, and so on.

You have noticed the existence and changes of the Tao, and you have gained some power from the Tao, so you want to know more about the Tao, and that's good.

Tao, nature also. Nature is the Way.

Naturally, self, self, so, so, so, so.

Everything in the world is not a thing, and it will follow a certain law or trajectory to run or develop, without exception.

The Tao is the foundation of change, unborn and imperishable, formless and imageless, without beginning and end, all-encompassing, its big and outside, its small and inward, and it changes and remains unchanged for eternity.

Its beginning is nameless, so the ancients have a strong name: Tao.

If I really want to explain the mystery of the existence of Cloud City, I only have four words for you - 'Dao Fa dictates'!

If you really want to understand the secrets behind the 'Dao Fa', then cultivate with your heart, to understand and master the Dao, and when all the Dao returns to the Sect and the water comes into being, you can control everything about the Dao, and will you still be confused about what the Dao itself is?"

The more than eighty students present were all silent, and the dean's words made them fall into deep thought, and many of them even stepped into the realm of epiphany, and some of them broke through the realm one after another.

In the end, the dean said: "It's okay to study knowledge, but you can't get into the horns of the bull, you should learn the knowledge and exercises of that stage at any stage, and it's easy to go crazy if you move too fast."

If you look around, can you have the top 10 students in this test to see the excitement together? Have they participated in the discussion together before? This is the gap between you. ”

Everyone looked back, and sure enough, as the dean said, everyone was convinced, and from then on, there was less high-minded talk, more hard practice, less gathering and chatting, and more attentive study, and all the students grew up rapidly.

In addition to the dean, the judge, the twelve masters, the thirty-six lecturers, and the hundred fresh students, there are many other people in Cloud City.

The hardest and most industrious are the more than 300 people of the Maofeng family, who have been serving as miscellaneous servants for the Taiyi Academy for generations, ensuring the logistics and normal operation of the Taiyi Academy.

There are also more than 40 students in various classes, most of whom are personal disciples of the current masters of the university, and who are determined to become lecturers in the future.

These trainee lecturers primarily act as direct mentors and patrons for new trainees, while real lecturers are responsible for teaching and conducting research in their respective areas of expertise.

The quality of this year's students is very high, which also stimulates the teaching enthusiasm of the teachers, and forms a beneficial competitive relationship between teachers and teachers, and between students and students.

However, there are special circumstances, there are three outliers among the students in this year, and the dean and the judge are personally guided, and all the course content is decided by the students themselves, and the university fully cooperates, only making suggestions, not guidance.

In the past four years, all three of them have broken through the Yuan Infant Stage, and according to the regulations of the academy, they have to finish their studies and go down the mountain, but the Dean decided to let them stay and continue to cultivate.

These three people are Tianhuo, Ah Li and Fan Zhou, who are privately called the "Three Sons of the Heavenly Sage" by the students, which is enough to show how transcendent the three of them are.

It is the existence of these three outstanding figures that further stimulates the fighting spirit of other students, and in just four years, the students of this Taiyi Academy have been praised as the strongest in history.

Zhang Youling, Yin Changkong, Ji Ruhua, Dan Xingzi, Tu Xiong, Zhao Tuo, Luo Lie, Gu Qingliu and others from the third to tenth in the entry test have also reached the peak or consummation of the Jindan period.

On December 27th, Gu Qingliu went down the mountain to save his relatives, he was the first person in the top ten to go down the mountain to save his relatives, and his descent caused homesickness among many people who were still left behind on the mountain, and many people also took advantage of this day to get together.

Many students gathered in Zhang Youling's cave to drink and feast, and among the students on the mountain, except for Ah Li, he was the most high-born, and he was the number one rich man among the students.

The cultivation materials and pills are inexhaustible, once it is found that the number of reserves is lower than his psychological defense line, he will immediately send someone to Longhu Mountain to ask for it, and soon a huge amount of materials will be delivered, and all the classmates who have a good relationship with him have been touched by his light.

So in the past few years, he has formed a lot of power around many classmates, and he has a very good relationship with other students in the top ten, so he has become the president of this year's student union.

Yan Bingshi, Li Hongfu, and Miaozhi Monk are Zhang Youling's friends and Ma Zai, although everyone is from a heaven-level sect, but the gap between the heaven-level and the heaven-level is still quite large.

There are more than 50 tables at the table today, and everyone is a single table, which not only shows Zhang Youling's importance to friendship, but also shows the wealth of Longhu Mountain.

Among the invited guests, in addition to this year's students, there are nine trainee teachers, seven lecturers, and two teachers.

However, there were always three empty seats at the top of the trainees, and everyone knew that those three seats were reserved for the third son of the Heavenly Sage, but no one showed up after three rounds of drinking.

Zhang Youling did not feel discouraged because the three of them did not arrive, he patiently clinked glasses with all the guests one by one, and returned to his seat.

Zhang Youling poured a glass of wine, picked it up and said: "Teachers, fellow students, today is a good day for my Song State Banquet, we can't go down the mountain because of our busy studies, so we can only drink here, and I wish my family, relatives and teachers good health!"

Everyone cheered in unison and drank it all.

Zhang Youling continued: "This second cup is to all the teachers and students here, it is your unremitting efforts and dedication that inspire others to keep moving forward, let us work together, never forget the original intention, and always have to." ”

The crowd applauded again and drank it all.

"This third cup wishes me a smooth wind and rain in the Great Song Dynasty, a prosperous country and a strong people, and I wish my Chinese family to overcome obstacles and survive forever!"

"Good!" the crowd drank again.

Zhang Youling's gaze swept to the three empty tables and said, "Today's friends get together, but it's a pity that there are three people missing. I, Zhang Youling, was originally a talented and proud character, but unfortunately compared with them, I am too inferior, I just hope that I will work hard to catch up in this life and not be pulled too far. ”

Some sycophants shouted: "Brother Youling don't have to be arrogant, your talent and achievements are obvious to everyone." ”

Zhang Youling waved his hand and said, "You may not have seen their training and trials, I am the closest person to them in strength among this year's students, so I am fortunate to participate in their trials."

Nine deaths is not enough to describe the danger of it, and so far I haven't had the courage to participate in a second time!"

Someone asked: "Brother Youling, you have a lot of knowledge, do you say that the legend of the clouds in the north is true?"

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the gate: "Of course the legend of the Northern Clouds is true, since there were Three Realms, we have never stopped fighting with the Northern Clouds. ”
